The house was perfect for our group of 5, with plenty of beds, space for entertainment, and cooking. The kitchen had almost everything we needed in terms of cooking implements (we could've used a big pot for cooking pasta, but used an Insta-Pot instead!), and we all sat comfortably at the large dining table. The location couldn't be beat - the deck and hot tub right overlooking the rushing Skykomish, with mountains in the distance, and easy beach access just down the road, was heaven on earth. If you needed to tune out the rapids, closing the doors and windows shut out nearly all of the outside noise (but we loved every minute of that mountain river music!). The house was well equipped for entertaining/entertainment - TVs, DVDs, CDs, and a big selection of games and cards. There were cozy spots for reading and relaxing, and fun hikes and other attractions were an hour or less away (e.g., PCT, Leavenworth). Nichole was a prompt and thoughtful communicator, and helped make our stay comfortable (she even had laundry detergent sheets delivered a.s.a.p. when we realized the house was out!). Couldn't have asked for a better stay or host!
